They suffered diseases and depression were very lonely. The image of their life is very inspiring and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. Literature portraits them as unique figures. ]]> 2016-11-08 21:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136253577 Why was transportation—particularly the canals and the railroads—so important in the early stages of industrialization? drew_moore44 https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136255405 It was so important because there were millions of people coming into the country or being born. America needed a way of transporting a lot of people fast. ]]> 2016-11-08 22:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136255405 vg drew_moore44 https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136256553 2016-11-08 22:14:40 UTC https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136256553 Which technological innovation was most important for early-nineteenth-century economic development? drew_moore44 https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136256583 The Cotton Gin that was created by Eli Whitney. ]]> 2016-11-08 22:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136256583 What effects did the movement from a subsistence to a market economy have on American society, including farmers, laborers, and women? What were the advantages and disadvantages of the change? drew_moore44 https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136259454 Farmers were able to make more money because of the rapid production of cotton. Laborers were able to find more jobs mainly in fields to pick cotton because that was in high demand. The sewing machine also provided women with jobs because sewing clothes and other things was needed in society. The advantages were that the economy was flourishing and production was increasing. A disadvantage was that slavery came back to life. ]]> 2016-11-08 22:33:49 UTC https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136259454 What caused the market and transportation revolutions of the nineteenth century? As you read this chapter, how many different reasons for the development of these changes can you identify? drew_moore44 https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136261134 The market revolution was caused by machines and supply and demand.

Farmers benefited a lot but the invention also increased slavery. Slaves were in high demand to pick the cotton and work the machines. There were also many consumers that were very poor because they couldn't afford the new things on the market. ]]> 2016-11-08 22:51:55 UTC https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136262322 As you read this chapter, can you combine the information from the primary source excerpts, tables, figures, maps, and text to create a persuasive understanding of westward migration and demographic changes in the United States from 1790 to 1860? drew_moore44 https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136263351 Yes. Westward expansion caused this country to grow in size rapidly. So many people were coming into this country that fast modes of transportation was needed. Farmers needed to increase production to keep up with the demand of the market and machines and slaves helped with that. Demographically the country was becoming industrialized and the country had good farming land in the South and good factory land in the North. ]]> 2016-11-08 22:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136263351 Were the “cult of domesticity” and the rise of the child-centered family signs an improvement or a restriction in women’s status and condition? drew_moore44 https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136264757 It was a restriction on women because they were seen as the person who had to stay home and raise their kids and that was their role. ]]> 2016-11-08 23:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136264757 Was the “new family” a progressive reflection of American democratic ideals, or a restriction on them? drew_moore44 https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136265370 It was a restriction on them because all people are created equal and deserve equal opportunity. ]]> 2016-11-08 23:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136265370 Why did America produce so many reform and utopian movements? What did they contribute to American culture? drew_moore44 https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136269503 America produced so many reform and Utopian movements because they wanted to reorder society and create a better way of life. What they contributed to American culture was the transcendentalists movement, the Shakers who made a redefinition of traditional sexuality and gender roles central to their society and created a society that was separated and protected from the chaos and disorder that they believed had come to characterize American life as a whole and the religious group the Mormons. ]]> 2016-11-09 00:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136269503 How does the Second Great Awakening of the nineteenth century compare to the Great Awakening of the eighteenth century? As you read this chapter and review the information about the Great Awakening in Chapter 5, how many relevant similarities and differences between these two events can you generate? drew_moore44 https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136270053 Both of them were huge religious movements and both of them reformed society. The first awakening had everyone in society buying into the the ideas of the religion. The second awakening was geared more toward women and their roles in society. ]]> 2016-11-09 00:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136270053 After you have read “Contending Voices: The Role of Women”, can you analyze both excerpts’ intended audience, purpose, and point of view? drew_moore44 https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136271490 Yes.

As you read this chapter, can you explain the continuities and changes in American art, architecture, and literature from 1790 to 1860? drew_moore44 https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136272249 Yes.

America has many political essays and documents that are very famous and very well written. But in the 19 century the literature was very romanticized. ]]> 2016-11-09 00:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/drew_moore44/rmfs30xpkp1q/wish/136272249
